First, let me hope everyone is safe at home or safe in the streets. On a whole, I just want to express my great hope for you gen x'ers. I am so proud that you have taken to the streets peacefully, those who have and let this be the beginning of a new day in the United States. If you're at home I hope you enjoy this latest update and just hold on to your wigs, it's about to get a little bumpy. Peace and Love.

"So Captain Bunny where did you get that name?"

Fitz chuckled.

"My Mom said as soon as I could move I would bounce up and down and when I finally started to stand up in my crib. My Mom would come into my room in the morning and I would bounce up and down until she picked me up. And full disclose, I think I have a Halloween picture with me in a bunny suit."

They both laughed.

"I hope our kids are that enthusiastic when they see me."

Fitz smirked and looked over at Olivia.

"Well, that's going to be kind of hard with us not really having sex yet."

Olivia giggled.

"Captain that is something we will have to change like really soon so your Mom can have grandkids."

"Dude! Did you hear what she said? I swear that woman only keeps me around so she can have grandchildren. She even asks Jake the same thing."

"What did you call her? Grandchildren thirsty. I thought I was going to lose it. I do love your Mom she is so warm and loving. How could she not be when you are the same way."

"Ahh, thank you, Little Lady. Speaking of parents, I kinda feel sorry for Dad. I know that look in my Mom's eyes when we told her what he was trying to do. Oh, by the way, Dad owns nothing in their marriage. Even his practice was financed by Mom. Pop wants everyone to think the Grant's still have money, but Grandpa made sure of that by drinking it all away. It was by the grace of Mom that Dad married her when he did or everyone in their social circle would have found out he was flat broke."

"Your Mom and Dad make no sense to me, but like you said she loves him despite his shortcoming. So, we need to get are living arrangements taken care of soon. My lease is up at the end of this month."

"I have an idea of a place if you would like to go see it?"

"Isn't it a little late to go to see an apartment?"

"It's not an apartment, but a townhouse."

"Fitz, I don't think I can afford a townhouse."

Fitz looks at her with a are you kidding look.

"I'm not living with you Fitz without contributing to the bills. You are not paying for everything."

Fitz knew he had to choose his words carefully. She was proud and had paid her own way until now.

Fitz pulls over into a parking space along the street and turned off the car.

"Livie, I would never impede your independence. The place we are going to see is already paid for. I will compromise with you and ask that we split the utilities and the groceries. I want you to see this place because it was my college graduation gift from my Mom. I just thought it was too big for just one person and even though I could have shared it with Jake, I just felt that it was supposed to be a place I shared with someone I loved."

Olivia teared up a bit. She leaned over and pecked his lips a few times and then looked in his eyes.

"Sometimes I really feel like your not a real person. "

She hesitated for a beat.

"I love you, Fitz. I don't want another minute to pass without saying that to you, because it's true. In this short amount of time that we've been together you know me the way, no one else other than my family understands me. You already get me and I will forever be grateful to have you in my life."

Fitz has tears in his eyes.

"I love you too Livie. This townhome is a big step for us, but I think that it's our future and I want us to get on with it. We deserve to be happy every minute of every day together and it starts here."

Fitz nodes toward the townhouse they are parked in front of. It's the end unit of a bunch of row houses. Although they are parked on the street it has a two-car garage. Fitz jumps out of the car and walks around and opens the door for Olivia. He grabs her hand and they walk up the stairs to the front door. Fitz punches in a code for the door and they go in as he turns on the lights. They walk into a spacious living room that has vaulted ceilings that have your eyes moving toward the back of the house where two skylights are cut into the living room slash kitchen area. Floor to ceiling bifold doors are at the back of the house with an expansive deck. Near the back of the wall to the left, there was a glass panel for the staircase. The bedrooms were downstairs. There were two sizeable bedrooms for their guest as well as a jack and jill bathroom for both rooms to share. The master bedroom was massive. Even though there was no furniture in the place Olivia cold tell that they could have a king-size bed and still enough room for her to create a small reading area and floor to ceiling bookcases. Fitz watched Olivia plan everything out in her head and he got that feeling again. She is home.

Olivia spins around.

"I love it, Fitz!"

"I knew you would. What do you think about shopping to fill it up?"

"It might take a month or two to get everything we need. We can bring our own things and then we can supplement with new things."

"You do know we can just buy new stuff and donate our stuff to someone who really needs it."

"Oh, I see how you're working this Captain. Appealing to my philanthropy side, when you know that I can't say no."

"Hey, I know you have a good heart, but I want to start something new here. Not with your stuff and my stuff, but our stuff. I know how you don't like to wast things and I feel that our old stuff can make someone very happy."

"You have a point Captain, but what are we going to do in the meanwhile. Sleep on an air mattress until we get everything we need?"

"How about we make a pack. We only buy stuff with our intern program pay. I don't use my inheritance and you get to contribute to our little nest here."

Olivia smiles and spits on her hand and extents it to Fitz. Fitz scrunched up his face and does the same and they shake.

"I'm not sure as doctors that was very sanitized Little Lady, but I'll do anything for you to say yes."

Olivia giggles and throws herself into his arms and kisses him like there is no tomorrow.

"No getting rid of me now Captain Bunny."

They both laugh and sit down in their bedroom dreaming of what's to come.

Vanessa was waiting for her husband to come home and had planned a nice dinner with all his favorites. Might as well give the prisoner one last nice meal before she went to war. Gerry Grant came into the kitchen with no idea he was a dead man walking. He came up behind his wife and kissed her cheek while he surveyed all the food.

"Well, what have I done to deserve such a feast?"

"You can call it that, but we can discuss it when we have dessert."

"Great, let me go upstairs and change my clothes."

"You do that dear."

Vanessa did there usual banter about their day, then Vanessa brought out Gerry's favorite dessert and coffee.

"Ness, what do you want to talk about?"

"I called the bank today and I called the loan on your business. You have forty-eight hours to come up with forty million or I will foreclose on the business or you can file bankrupt. Your choice."

"WHAT! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!"

"No, just a Mama who is guarding her son's happiness. Did you really think you would get away with messing with Fitz and Olivia? There are many things in this world I will forgive you for Gerry Grant, but hurting my baby is not one of them. I've never interfered with the way you pushed Fitz thinking that was what a father does, but this goes over the line. Olivia has earned every bit of that Internship and you take it upon yourself to sabotage her career for that automaton called Mellie Taylor.

So here is how things are going to go. First, you're going to call your friend and call him off Olivia. Second, I don't what Zac Taylor has over you, but you're going to drop this merger with him and his space between her head daughter, if you don't not only will I ruin your business, but I will kick your ass out of this palace I own. Are we clear?"

"Ness, Zac is no one to mess with. He's on the shady side of society. He won't take kindly to us backing out of marrying Mellie to Fitz."

"Who are you more scared of Gerry? Me or him? I can assure you, you should be afraid of me. If we must get in the mud, then let me handle it. But from this moment on, you will be the best supportive father the world has ever known."

"Ness, I promise not to mess in Fitz affairs again, but I don't want you handling Zac Taylor. I got us in this mess, I'll get us out."

"See that you do Gerry."

Two months later...

"Daddy! Everyone at the club has heard that Fitz and I are not going to get married. I'm the laughing stock of our club."

She sobbed.

"Don't worry sweetheart. No one backs out of a deal with Zac Taylor and lives to tell about it. I have some things in the works to make sure Gerry Grant remembers what the deal was."

"Don't kill him, Daddy, I want him at the wedding."

"Don't worry sugar, he'll be there. Maybe a little bruised, but he'll be there."

Gerry Grant was leaving his office later than usual due to a last-minute appointment that didn't show up. He was walking to his car in the parking deck of his office when out of nowhere two guys came up to him and started wailing on him. They knocked him down and proceeded to kick him until he was unconscious. He laid in the parking garage for about an hour before security found him on their regular rounds.

Security called Vanessa with the news. She ran out of the house with Fergus driving on two wheels leaving the house. Vanessa called Fitz on the way to the hospital.

"Fitz!"

Fitz could tell already that something was wrong.

"Your Dad was attacked in the parking garage at his office can you meet me at Mass General?"

"I'm already here Mom, I'll go down to emergency and try and get some information on his condition."

Fitz sprinted to the elevators and text Olivia furiously to let her know his Dad was hurt. He dashed down to the nurse's desk and asked which curtain Gerry Grant was in. They told him he was in four. When he pulled back the curtain, Fitz could barely tell it was his father. His face was so swollen that he was pretty sure he had many facial fractures, he could see his arm in a splint as well. He wanted to ask the attending what was all his injuries, but he didn't want to get in there way as they were working on him. Thank God for small miracles, the head of the emergency department was on duty tonight. He would sub sometimes to keep up on his skills and new techniques that came out for emergency medicine. Fitz stood in a corner once he caught the eye of Dr. Tubbs. He acknowledges him and continued to work on his father.

Dr. Tubbs was also his Dad's classmate and his Dad had made it his mission to give him hell throughout medical school, but Tubbs was always a professional no matter who came through the door. He would always get his best effort.

After they got him stable, Dr. Stubbs pulls Fitz to the side to tell him what happened.

"So far I can tell you that his sinus cavity has to be fractured that's why he has so much swelling around his face. His left arm is broken, and his liver is lacerated, but on a whole, he is stable right now. We are going to take him to surgery to get the liver taken care of and also to set the arm with some screws. He is going to be in a lot of pain when he wakes up. I want to keep him in a coma for a few days for the swelling to go down and to help with pain management. I'll let you tell your mother and any family members what is happening. I'll take him up to surgery. You can bring your Mom to the six-floor waiting room. He'll be in ICU for 24 hours then we'll put him in a private room."

"Thank so much Dr. Stubbs."

They wheel his father by and Fitz stops them to kiss his chest. Then he goes to the waiting room. When he comes out, everyone swarms him. He sees his mother, Olivia, Jake, Fergus, and Cyrus. He tells them what Dr. Stubbs told him and escorts his mother and the rest of them to the sixth floor. Cyrus tells him that he will let the attending know that he will be with his father for the rest of the night and to call in the Doctor on standby. Vanessa is visibly shaken by the events of the night, but she has a creeping suspicion that one Zac Taylor has a hand in this. She looks at Fergus and she doesn't have to say a word, he moves to the hallway outside the waiting room.

"Huck looks like Zac made his first move. Now it's time for ours."

Huck says nothing but hangs up.
